oh just older stuff i don't have: KP3, EM-1, Kontrol 49, Microkorg et cetera...i don't have GAS for any neu KORG stuff.

i saw a Korg DSS-1 @ the pawn shop a while back but they wanted like $250. i'm thinking about maybe collecting Kaoss Pads too in the future. the older ones are like a hundo or so. seeing Brain Eno freakin' two Kaoss Pads in that documentary kind of solidified my desire to just get them all. i also kind of recently discovered those older Korg Series 1 pedals. i could use one or two of those to fill a few modulation gaps.

Cool. I like Korg's older stuff also. I definitely want some Kaoss Pads and possibly a Microkorg. Good luck on your quest for old Korg gear!

i scooped one up a little while ago cause i had a gift card to burn

i was surprised at how phat sounding it is when plugged in.......u can make some seriously dope wobble wobble and kick drums not to mention crazy fx w/ the LFO and slides. def worth the scroll.


and i saw a korg dss1 the other day too! i forgot how much they wanted but it wasnt too bad.

the korg ddd1 is a badass drum machine....i wish it was smaller tho. takes up too much of my tabletop space to warrant a regular spot in my spaceship.

Did anyone ever try the filter on guitar? I remember reading you can patch anything into the filter and that it's supposed to sound like the legendary one that was used as a blueprint for the frostwave resonator. From the MS-20 or sth like that...
